A STATE RIGHTS CASE.
Alleged Kidnapping of New Hamp.
shire Grocer in Maine.

DOVER, N. H., Jan. 20.
There is an impending imbrogllo between
Maine and New Hampshire affecting State
rights. John B Dominique, grocer of Great
Falls, stepped over into Berwick, Me-, on
TUESDAY last, and while there was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Hurd of Berwick for a
debt alleged to be due Portland wholesale
grocer. Dominique requested the sheriff to
bring him back into New Hampshire and to
this city, to consult counsel and make ar
rangements to pay the debt The sheriff
consented. In consultation with a lawyer
here, Dominique was informed that Hurd
had no control over him here. Consequently.
he so Informed his custodian, who came to
the same conclusion, and allowed Dominique
his liberty, both going to their respective
homes by different routes. Hurd changed
his mind on reaching Berwick, for on getting
in company with two police officers, went
over to Great Falls, rearrested Domi-
Bique, and lodged him in Alfred Jail. Coun-
sci for Dominique got out writ of habeas
corpus, and had Dominique brought before
Judge Foster, who was presiding in the su-
preme court at Saco, Yesterday afternoon.
The judge declined to order the discharge OF
Dominique, had him sent to Alfred Jail,
where he is now incarcerated, on the ground
that he induced the sheriff by fraud to go to
Dover. Judge Fosters ruling caused a
genuine surprise here. Domnique's counsel
will now enter civil sui; for heavy dam
ages, aud at the February term of the su-
preme court steps will be taken to have
Sheriff Hurd indicted by the grand jury for
kidnapping, and have him brought here for
trial by a requsition on Governor Bodwell.
There is a very severe penalty in this State
for kidnapping.

! NEW YORK, Jan. %.
The extension of the strike TO the railroad
freight handlers on the piers OF several roads
having dock facilities on the citv water front
has brought the number OF men now out up
to nearly 10000. The men on the New York
City 4 Northern Railroad, pier 40. East river,
through sympathy for the coal shovellers and
steamship longshoremen, went out yester
day. They were sent for by the superinten-
dent, but refused to treat with him individu-
| ally. The railroad men on the Hartford
dock, East river were the next 10 go out
Business is almost at a stsndstill on both the
river fronts. The greatest difficulty in NOV
ing freight is on the docks along the North
river, where most of the ocean steamers are
| berthed. Nearly all outgoing vessels have
heen delayed for want OF coal. The steamer
BOurgognr of the French line sailed this
morning, but it was stated that her cargo WAS
not complete.
The Erin of the National line, which
should have sailed on Thursday. could not
get away today, and an effort will BE- male to
have her ready for sea at high water on sun
day.
The Hell, of the same line still lies
alongside the dock with her cargo untouched.
The Morgan line steamer FL Paso was being
unloaded by the Italians who were engaged
the previous day. The New York Of the
same line came up yesterday. but at 10 A. NJ.
today her matches had not AS vet been
opened The Stonlngton line boats were
running on time. The Ocean Steamship
Co.'S steamer Tallahassee is being loaded by
non-union men, and the agent says she will
be ready for sea today. On the Ola Domin-
ion dock there were over 100 men at work
today, and many men who applied for work
were turned away. The steamer Old Domin-
ion sailed on time. The Wyoming of the
Guion line, had three gangs of men at work
loading her. The dock master says they can
get all the coal that is required and all the
men they need to handle the freight.
AT the Guion line office it was said that
the Wyoming would be ready to sail by Tues
dav The green hands were at work, and by
the time the next vessel came in they would
be ready to handle freight as quickly as the
old hands.
At the State line Office it was said that the
company was not at all embarrassed by the
strike, for the reason that none of their ves-
sells would sail for week,
At the Cunard line office the agent said
they could get all the men they wanted. The
Gallia had been loaded and coaled by non
union men. The vessel will sail tomorrow
one day late.
At the Anchor line Mr.. Henderson said ::
"Have nothing to say have all the men we
want"

Unlike any other.

1t is said by those who know that John
sons Anodyne Liniment is unlike any other
in the world and that IT is the most onderiul
family remedy ever discovered. Ii is both
for internal and external use, and is equally
valuable in either case. 1t is safe to say
that no remedy now known has cured so many
cases of Diphtheria, Group, Asthma, Bron-
chitis, Influenza, Sore Lungs, Bleeding at the
Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Chronic Hoarsa-
ness, Hacking Cough, Whooping Cough,
Lame stomach, Rheumatism in worst form,
Chronic Disease of the Spine, Sciatica and
Neuralgia, as has Johnson's Auodyne Lni-
ment.
This Anodyne Liniment is richly worth ten
dollars bottle in certain cases.
For instance IN cases of diphtheria, Group
and asthma, when the sufferer is almost dead
for want of breath, and something is required
to act instantly. TO an old man suffering
with severe kidney disease, ten dollars is no
more than cent for a bottle of this Ano-
dyne. In all such eases it will give imme-
diate reliei-and by using it occasionally, it
will afford comparative comfort the remainder
of life. person suffering intense agony,

approaching them on the same track. Not

the truck and ran of. The night was very
dark and the engineer did not see the OBJ

force. The truck was shattered to splinters
and the safe thrown into the ditch. No dam
